:She Weston VR's actually give the baptismal date as Dec. 5, 1742. The birth could be earlier - possibly the 2nd and the baptism be correct, or the baptism could be later and the birth correct. The whole question is, in one sense irrelevant - the child was born and baptised and then died when only a few months old.
